    Hi
    Got a question about pricing for a Y550. It's selling for £550 so I reckon that's $825.
    My requirements for a laptop are that its reasonably light, <2.7kg, half decent gfx card to run SCII, Diablo III and CS: source and that it has a decent keyboard for typing (apple/sony e series keyboard-esque preferably).

    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 (2.2GHZ)
    Display: 15.6" HD WLED Glossy LCD + 1.3 MegaPixels integrated webcam and mic
    Genuine Windows 7
    Free Upgrade 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz Memory (Included)
    320GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
    Nvidia GeForce GT240M Featuring 1 GB of dedicated DDR3 memory
    SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW w/Double Layer Support
    6 cell Li-Ion SMART Battery
    Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 5100 AGN (supporting Centrino Pro)
    Integrated Bluetooth + HDMI Input

    The q basically is, is that worth it or could i do better for the same price? Also any current Y550 owners willing to share their experience of using it?

    Thaanks!

    It is okay not brilliant, they are doing similar sales in Australia too with the Y550.
